2017 The French Connection

Saturday, Sept 16th
6:30pm

Raise your proverbial blowtorches for this showstopping dinner rooted in French cuisine, prepared by three of the most accomplished women in food right now. James Beard Award-winner and Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” Chef Barbara Lynch (Menton, Boston) is regarded as one of Boston’s – and the country’s – leading chefs and restaurateurs. Kristen Murray (Maurice, PDX), a disciple of Lynch’s kitchen earlier in her career, is the mastermind of Maurice, a modern pastry luncheonette bound by old-world charm, honored by Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants in America. Chef Katy Millard (Coquine, PDX), 2017 James Beard Award Finalist and Oregonian “Restaurant of the Year,” cooks delicious, thoughtful and seasonal food. And seeing as the French (and Julia) would never dream of a dinner without wine, our friends from Beaujolais Wines will provide the perfect liquid accompaniments for the evening. We may not need those blowtorches…
